Sensitivity refers to the extent to which parents provide warmth and supportiveness.

Strictness refers to the extent to which parents provide supervision and discipline.

Categorizing parents according to whether they are high or low on strictness and sensitivity creates four parenting styles:

Indulgent

Authoritarian

Uninvolved

Assertive

Indulgent parents are more sensitive than they are strict. Children of these parents tend to have high self-esteem, but low motivation (e.g., perform poorly at school, do few if any chores). Also, they are more likely to have behavioral problems at home and school.

Authoritarian parents are very strict, but not very sensitive. Children of these parents tend to have high motivation (e.g., do well in school, do chores at home), but have very low self-esteem. They also have poorer social skills and higher levels of depression.

Uninvolved parents are low in both sensitivity and strictness. Children of these parents tend to have both low motivation and low self-esteem.

Assertive parents are both strict and sensitive. Children of these parents tend to have both high motivation and high self-esteem.

Message from Mark Hutten, M.A.

How long have you tolerated dishonesty and disrespect? How many temper tantrumsand arguments have you endured? How much time and energy have you wasted trying to make your child change?

The problem is that most parents of strong-willed, out of control teenagers have tried very hard to regain control -- but with little or no success. And it seems the harder the parent tries, the more the teenager "acts-out."

I often hear the following statement from parents: "I've tried everything with this child -- and nothing works!" But when they use the strategies outlined in my online parenting-program, they soon discover they have not tried everything, rather they have tried some things.

In the My Out-of-Control Teen eBook, you will learn cut-to-the-chase parenting strategies that work immediately rather than months or years down the road. And I guarantee your success or you get your money back -- and you can keep the eBook. This is how confident I am that my parenting-program is going to work for you.

This program is GUARANTEED to work, so there's absolutely NO WAY that you can lose! Click here to get started immediately.

Also, it is time to utilize the parent-coachingaspect of Online Parent Support. Email me [mbhutten@gmail.com] as needed over the next several weeks with specific questions, and we will trouble-shoot / problem-solve to "fix" any remaining issues.
